Which answer was not an impact of English exploration?

A) increased fish industry

B) fur trade with native Americans

C) the English gained huge amounts of gold

D) war broke out between Spain and England

The increased fish industry was not an impact of English exploration.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Before the exploration practically began, fishing was one of the main occupations of the populations residing along the coasts. Many fishermen happened to drop the profession of fishing after they were introduced to the trading of fur.

Owing to the profitability of the business of fur, fur trading became the occupation of first choice. It can thus be said that with exploration, there came an awareness about other possible occupations, and thus the fishing industry decreased.
